										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As much as school is important for your kids, extra-curricular activities enrich their lives! These activities are a medium for your kids to go beyond the syllabus at school, and learn more about their personalities! These activities need to be fun, educating, and also something that keeps them distracted for a long time. Well, parents, this article can help you plan the ultimate roster of fun summertime activities that not only keeps them distracted but also makes them learn new things and become productive citizens of the city. Whether it is learning a new skill, cleaning up the attic, recycling, or learning sustainable crafts- it is important for children to understand the motive of summertime activities. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Understanding why they are doing these activities can help them immerse themselves completely into the activity, piquing genuine interest in that area for hours on end, giving the parent much-needed free time and the satisfaction of making summer holidays productive! These activities are designed to be at home because cities in India are currently facing a heavy downpours making outdoor projects extremely tiresome and cumbersome for young kids. So instead of stepping out in the rain, here are some at-home extra-curricular activities for your kids- </span></p>
<p><strong>Learn How To Code</strong>&#8211; For that budding computer nerd who is constantly streaming their favorite tech creators, gift them the ultimate skill by enrolling them in a coding class. Companies like White Hat Jr are offering personalized courses for your little one to start coding- their way!</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Start a Book Club</strong>&#8211; For children whose eyes are glued to their laptops, TVs, and phones, this might be a much-needed push for children to start admiring the age-old hobby of reading books. A book club might be a sustainable way for your children to not only read the books that are given but understand them, form their independent opinions, and discuss them openly with their peers. Plus the idea of a book club can keep them accountable and encourage them to complete the book if they are to contribute to the discussion during the book club meetings. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Learn an Instrument</strong>&#8211; Learning an instrument is important for your child’s brain development as it involves the hands, the brains, and almost all the sense organs making it an effective activity for your child to learn by doing. When your child accomplishes a certain level and learns how to play a tune, it can have vast effects on their self-esteem and help them be satisfied with attaining a new skill, right from the comfort of their home. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Sustainable Crafts</strong>&#8211; Have too many old things and waste piling up in your garage and attic? Is your own plan to dispose of them? Then put your child to the task. Recycling and upcycling are two important concepts that your children should understand. Sorting through old toys and objects to decide which should be recycled for their parts and those that can be upcycled seems like a mammoth task but puts your child’s creativity to the test. If they have outgrown their clothes, ask them what else can they do with an old fabric other than simply dispose of them. Maybe make an upcycled headband, use the fabric to make attractive cup warmers, coasters, and much more? Encourage them to find creative uses for old objects and apply their creativity to actually make upcycled crafts from them! </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Teach One</strong>&#8211; Do you have domestic help at home? It is time to repay their unwavering service to you! Education is empowering, and everyone is eager for knowledge and to learn new information. Encourage your child to give back to society by starting right at home! Nudge them to teach some basics of maths and science to their lesser privileged friends for the summer right at home. Not only does this help someone else, but it also gives your child a sense of fulfillment of having done something that goes beyond self-serving notions. </span></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Growing up, everyone had a book that was so riveting and life-changing, that it stayed with them for years. Books have the ability to make our transport, emote, spend hours immersed in a made-up world, or even inspired us to take new steps in our lives. Books are an inextricable part of our growth and emotional development, and we believe every child should have the opportunity to find an author and a character they can truly resonate with. In addition to this, books are a great way for your child&#8217;s brain development, cognition, and vocabulary as they move on to more advanced reading. So on, International Book Lover&#8217;s Day here are 9 books that SHOULD be on your child&#8217;s reading list! </span></p>

It’s a visual delight to flip through this book because each page is a work of art. A simple story about a caterpillar that eats a lot has a deeper message.  It’s a fun way for</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> toddlers</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> and preschoolers to </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">learn</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> basic counting and</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> numbers.</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">  </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This age-old tale of how the sweet sea became salty, written by Sudha Murthy, is crisp and engaging.

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This beloved story of little Matilda is a delightful book for kids. In a world where she’s bullied by the adults around her, Matilda discovers her secret powers. An audiobook is a lovely way to bring alive Roald Dahl’s story of Matilda, the girl with secret powers. If your child likes audiobooks, then do check out the </span><a href="https://www.audible.in/pd/Matilda-Audiobook/B079X4ZZ42"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Matilda audiobook</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">!

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>5. <a href="https://www.amazon.in/Kill-Mockingbird-Harper-Lee/dp/0099549484/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&amp;keywords=to+kill+a+mockingbird&amp;qid=1627960169&amp;sr=8-1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">To Kill A Mockingbird</span></a></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Told from the perspective of 9-year-old Scout, To Kill A Mockingbird has been a staple on children’s reading lists across the world since it was released over sixty years ago! This story is set in the small sleepy town of Maycomb, Alabama, and explores issues like racism, inequality, and prejudice with the kindness, honesty, and warmth of a child. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>6. <a href="https://www.amazon.in/Haroun-Sea-Stories-Salman-Rushdie/dp/0140140433/ref=sr_1_1?crid=RTXPFE2NO9W0&amp;dchild=1&amp;keywords=haroun+and+the+sea+of+stories+by+salman+rushdie&amp;qid=1627960190&amp;sprefix=haroun+%2Caps%2C318&amp;sr=8-1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Haroun And The Sea of Stories </span></a></h3>

Peppered with lovely alliterations and limericks, this book combines many elements to make for a delightful read. It reads as an exciting fairy tale for younger kids;  older kids can see that it’s an allegory for larger concepts like oppression. Although written as a children’s book, it’s equally delightful for parents, too! </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>7. <a href="https://www.amazon.in/Northern-Lights-Materials-Anniversary-Editions/dp/0590660543/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&amp;keywords=northern+lights&amp;qid=1627934397&amp;sr=8-1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Northern Lights</span></a></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The first part of the His Dark Materials series, Northern Lights follows the adventures of Lyra. It is set in a fantastical world and deals with themes like friendship, relationships, and good versus evil in a dynamic way. The best thing about this series is that you can retread it countless times, and each time you will discover something different. Older readers may find a philosophical understanding of the text. Kids will be engrossed by this world of gypsies and magicians and witches and interworld travel! </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>8. <a href="https://www.amazon.in/Bad-Beginning-Unfortunate-Events/dp/1405266066/ref=sr_1_1?crid=PA2ES64HIE7K&amp;dchild=1&amp;keywords=a+bad+beginning&amp;qid=1626112278&amp;sprefix=a+bad+be%2Caps%2C386&amp;sr=8-1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">A Series of Unfortunate Events: The Bad Beginning </span></a></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Lemony Snickets series is a witty and clever book following the misfortunes that befall the three Baudelaire orphans.

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>9. <a href="https://www.amazon.in/Harry-Potter-Philosophers-Stone-Rowling/dp/1408855658/ref=sr_1_3?crid=17HLNF0YXSVP5&amp;dchild=1&amp;keywords=harry+potter+and+the+philosophers+stone+book&amp;qid=1627961227&amp;s=books&amp;sprefix=philo%2Cstripbooks%2C348&amp;sr=1-3"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Harry Potter and The Philosopher’s Stone </span></a></h3>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As Indians, the 15th of August is a special and proud day for all of us. It is the pride that is passed down to us over generations, and this feeling brings us closer and connected to each other as we share our glorious past. 75 years of Indian Independence is truly a benchmark and children, especially our young ones should be made aware of the sacrifices and struggles of our freedom fighters who brought each of us the freedom we enjoy every day. In an increasingly globalized world, where kids are online at a young age, exposed to different cultures and languages online, it is easy for them to not be aware of our rich cultural history. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As parents, we have a unique and diverse set of roles. Not only do we serve as primary guardians and protectors of our children, but we also serve as a vessel for transmitting culture and traditional values. In a world, where a globalized culture is so predominant, it is easy for children to forget their individuality and history. So this independence day, talk to your kids about India’s freedom struggle, the perils of colonization, and the remarkable uphill battle that our glorious freedom fighters fought to bring us this life of freedom and equality. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Some of us may not know the right tools and conversation points to keep the young ones engaged and interested, so this article is just for you! </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><b>First</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">, remember that your child is </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">just </span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">a young person, so do not expect them to be interested and attentive if you roll out a gigantic history book and start narrating. Make sure that the content is tailored towards their understanding. Your best bet would be to play informative movies like this animated short </span><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-FoCsDnPmE0"><span style="font-weight: 400;">on one of our prolific heroes- Bhagat Singh</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. Make the discussion interactive and make sure that you are taking enough breaks in between to answer your child’s questions and doubts! </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><b>Second, </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">know that there is no </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">right </span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">way to make your child aware of the Independence Struggle. Every child has a different style of learning, so make sure you acknowledge that before you plan something. Instead of hosting a movie night or play session, you can also plan a trip to some of the historic Independence Movement memorials and take a trip down history, actually seeing the monuments and memorials laid down for our freedom fighters. It can be a trip to the peaceful Sabarmati Ashram, the solemn Shaheed Minar, or the India Gate in Delhi. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><b>Third, </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">children learn better with others! Host a session with your child’s friends and make it crafty and fun for them. You can ask them to build a scrapbook of the most influential freedom fighter in their opinion, and ask them to give a presentation on that with their friends! </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><b>Fourth, </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">take your child to see a light and sound show! Trust us, this is one of the ways your child will be invested in our history in the most immersive experience. Children learn better when they use multiple senses, and this show incorporates invigorating audio and an informative narrative about our glorious independence struggle. </span></p>
<p><b>Finally, </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">open up to your child about what Independence Day means to you. Take them down memory lane, and trace your ancestors and their stories when they lived through the Independence Struggle. If you have grandparents, and great-grandparents alive, take this time to bond with them and involve them to share their experiences as they lived through such tumultuous times. </span></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As school reopens, and the world re-opens again, acing the transition at this point is important for the kids, and especially the teens. 2 years ago, our kids had to accommodate huge changes in their lives- from transforming their rooms and besides into makeshift schools, meeting friends on a screen, and taking tests on Zoom schools- children had to deal with a lot of changes! Some children reached their teenage years at home, probably with a virtual celebration, and a low-key party at home. Now that they are venturing out to school, back to the same routine, going out for extra-curricular activities, and just dealing with the massive hormonal and bodily changes, teenagers need some support with their mental health and should have some daily practices that support this transition back to school. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If you are a parent thinking about including some mental health practices and are curious about resources for your teenagers, keep reading! </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><b>Journaling- </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">One of the best mental health practices for teenagers is to journal and document their moods, emotions, and experiences. As a teenager, one goes through a whirlwind of thoughts and emotions that just get saturated sitting in the brain without having an outlet creating fertile grounds for outbursts and a negative spiral. Journaling is a great outlet for teens to write about their personal journey, helping them to actually express their thoughts in a safe space without the fear of judgment. These days journals come in exciting teen aesthetics and styles to motivate young adolescents to document the bumpy ride that is adolescence. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Some journals that we love- </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Five Minute Journal- Get it </span><a href="https://www.intelligentchange.com/products/the-five-minute-journal?variant=39411565035593"><span style="font-weight: 400;">here</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">!</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">My Little Big Day- Get it </span><a href="https://thejournallab.in/product/my-little-big-day-blue-book/?utm_source=Google%20Shopping&amp;utm_campaign=Google%20Shopping&amp;utm_medium=cpc&amp;utm_term=3497&amp;gclid=CjwKCAjwt7SWBhAnEiwAx8ZLauCdv2ZcdR5hSchHCEjcQ95kgfWdtX_zoFSaVQN1-eGTMZ-mK6ElaBoCZ5AQAvD_BwE"><span style="font-weight: 400;">here</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">!</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">One Page A Day- Get it</span><a href="https://peachbyvishnu.in/products/one-page-a-day-journal?pr_prod_strat=copurchase&amp;pr_rec_id=b4a895d05&amp;pr_rec_pid=7064410063032&amp;pr_ref_pid=7064417468600&amp;pr_seq=uniform"><span style="font-weight: 400;"> here</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">!</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><b>Exercise</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8211; Physical activity, playing a sport, and accelerating your heart rate are just perfect practices for your brain to release the natural feel-good hormone- dopamine! Exercise and being active are must-include activities for any teenager as they get back to school. Enrolling them in a team sport, and encouraging them to catch up on a rainy-day football session with friends are just perfect ways for your teenager to manage their emotions in an active way. </span><a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1470658/#:~:text=Exercise%20improves%20mental%20health%20by,self%2Desteem%20and%20cognitive%20function.&amp;text=Exercise%20has%20also%20been%20found,self%2Desteem%20and%20social%20withdrawal."><span style="font-weight: 400;">Exercise, in fact, has proven to improve mental health </span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">by reducing instances of anxiety, depression, and other mood disorders in teenagers. Additionally, with the rising rates of obesity in urban areas, exercise and physical activity are important to prevent any physiological problems later on in your teen’s life! </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><b>Support Groups- </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">Sometimes as parents, we are unable to understand the generation and individual struggles our children face on a daily basis. As parents, we can be staunch supporters and cheerleaders for our growing teens, but they might not be able to relate to us or talk openly to us due to reservations and personal reasons. Show your support and respect for your teen’s privacy by enrolling them in teen support groups where your child can find their personal safe space. Support groups are excellent spaces for young teens to share their struggles, vulnerabilities, and emotional problems with like-minded teens their own age, who can relate to their problems. These groups are moderated by a mental health professional who makes sure that your teen’s problems are heard and understood in the best way possible. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Some support groups that you can check out- </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<a href="https://awaremh.com/teenager-support-group/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Aware Mental Health </span></a>
<a href="https://support.therapytribe.com/teen-support-group/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Tribe </span></a>
<a href="https://themindclan.com/sharing_spaces/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Mind Clan</span></a>
<a href="https://www.nami.org/Your-Journey/Kids-Teens-and-Young-Adults"><span style="font-weight: 400;">NAMI</span></a>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><b>Sleep- </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">We do not stress this enough but sleep is the most important mental health practice that your teen can follow- especially in this transition to full-time school. Sleep is the time when the body resets its internal mechanisms, different cells get to work, our neural networks and processes are enriched, and vital organs in the body get the time to grow and heal. Poor quality of sleep is directly linked to irritable moods, anxiety, and low energy during school and work time. If your teen is going back to a physical school, take some time to reset their sleep time and routine. Set a proper bedtime and remove all screens and digital tablets away during these precious 8 hours. Work with your teen to help them wind down with some meditative playlists and narration by apps like Headspace and Calm. </span></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The pandemic has surely revolutionized the meaning of education in every household. From holding virtual schooling at your house, shifting your child’s room into an interactive learning space, to making sure that they are not missing out on quality education with schools being closed. Ed-tech sites at this juncture proved to be a blessing for us parents! From condensing difficult concepts into easily understandable pieces for our children to entertaining our kids while exposing them to knowledge and ideas that they would not learn within the four walls of the classroom. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ed-tech sites also help children who have different styles of learning. For example, some children are visual learners which is why graphics, videos, and aesthetics are important to them when learning new material. Some children learn better with audio, making audiobooks, podcasts, and similar learning materials the perfect way to introduce science or math to your kids, especially if they are young. With ed-tech platforms, you can broaden your kid’s learning horizon without having to move from place to place, get all your materials in one place and let your child start learning and growing today! </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Here are some Ed-Tech sites we know your kids will love! </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><b>WhiteHat Jr</b></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><b>Why White Hat Jr? </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">We all know that the digital revolution is here! With that, there is a serious need for upskilling and re-orienting our education system to include technical knowledge about the ever-growing digital ecosystem. </span></p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p><b>OckyPocky </b></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><b>Why OckyPocky?- </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">In India, English is a second language in many households.

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The dreadful images of the damage caused by the Assam floods, the constant news flurry of multiple landslides, and flood-related calamities from around the country have plagued the news cycle these days. The monsoon season, although, a welcome respite from the heat of the blazing summer does affect our families in various ways. In Mumbai itself, many people have opted to work from home, schools have been canceled on multiple days, major roads flooded, and businesses impacted. Children are kept quite sheltered and protected from the harsh reality, as they should, but they should be aware of the vast differences in experiences of monsoon due to privilege. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It is a delicate topic when discussing with children as one must tread the balance between seriousness and simplicity to make sure the child is understanding everything being told to them in a positive way. Instead of limiting ourselves to just making sure that the child understands the daily differences, make your child be more proactive in their own ways to help their immediate community holds much more meaning. Get your child involved and on the ground to be more proactive this monsoon season. Here’s how- </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Distribution of protective monsoon gear in the neighborhood. Get your child and their friends to distribute protective monsoon gear in the nearby community, especially the younger kids from lesser fortunate backgrounds. Take your kids shopping for them and tell them to get exactly what they think kids their age would like for their raincoats and umbrellas. This gets them to relate and empathize with the kids and makes them understand and care for others’ safety and protection. </span></li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Monsoon safety education drives are also a great idea for kids to be more proactive this monsoon season. Instead of just limiting themselves to getting the neighborhood protective gear, involve them in creating an educational program with their friends to make sure to educate their surroundings about the dangers of the monsoon seasons and the precautions one must take. This will be a fun activity for your kids and their friends as they are given full creative freedom to come up with a program all on their own and do something meaningful with activities. </span></li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Due to the monsoon seasons, many schools shut down and classes get delayed, especially when it comes to municipal and government schools. If you have some students of such schools in your neighborhood who are at a grade lower than your child’s, get your child to tutor them and lend some of their old books and notebooks! Not only will your child feel empowered and actioning their intentions into real efforts, but also help students of a lesser fortunate background to be up and current with their studies, making sure they are not losing precious study time to the monsoons! </span></li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The key to being proactive this monsoon season is a subjective one. What matters is that you empower your child to make real change and be sensitive to others’ needs this season. Helping others and seeing a wider perspective helps your child’s personality develop, and they become much more sensitive and aware of the ground reality. Not to mention, that you are also making a change in your community! </span></p>
